It's Christmas Eve.



To everyone who visits these pages, may I wish you all a very enjoyable Christmas Eve, and a wonderful Christmas Day for tomorrow.

May your Turkey be moist, any gifts be to your taste, and the day's company to your liking. If, like me, you are putting a Yule Log on your fire tonight, may it burn well.


This is ours (above); which will be put on the fire later tonight.

This evening we shall listen to Carols from Kings, speak with friends and family, and enjoy the warm ambiance of our small 'cosy' home.

We wish you all a very happy festival, however you choose to celebrate it. Cro & Lady Magnon xx

Does the log go on with the christmas baubles still on it?

Cro Magnon said...

Thanks Andrew. It hasn't been a good start to the Melbourne Christmas, so let's hope all goes peacefully from now on.

Cro Magnon said...

Lovely to have you here Parsnip. Best wishes.

Cro Magnon said...

I take the baubles off, but burn the rest. I'm a skinflint.

I was surprised to see them as I thought they may explode.

Thank you Cro. I will picture you and Lady M, with Bok sprawled on the sofa, by the fire. Best wishes!

I have "lurked" for several months after discovering your blog but feel compelled to return your festive greetings.
A very merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New year to you and yours!

This morning we are going to see a comedy film The Wonderful Garden of Bella Brown (I think it's called) and if we get there in time they will give us our breakfast. After that we shall decorate the tree. Christmas dinner will be a fine piece of fresh fish from the Waldviertel carp ponds (they are in the north of Austria near the Czech border).

Have yourselves a good one Cro and Co.

Cro Magnon said...

I might be worth trying!

Cro Magnon said...

Thank you for your kind words. I learn a lot from your page, long may it continue. Cro x

Cro Magnon said...

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

Happy, happy Christmas to you and yours Cro ....wishing you and Lady M a magical time .... many thanks for your blogging friendship and here's to more of the same in 2018. XXXX

Cro Magnon said...

Nice to meet you Christina. I don't think I've ever visited Lancashire, so am not qualified to comment on its sunny-ness. Have a lovely Christmas, Cro x

Cro Magnon said...

We have gone against our usual Swedish style Christmas Eve meal, and have opted for Salmon and Scallops. All in preparation for the big meal tomorrow.

Cro Magnon said...

Indeed Jacqueline. Very best wishes to you and your family. I must now rush as Santa has to Skype Australia at 9 am. Cro x

Sue said...

Merry Christmas Magnon;s! May 2018 bring you good health, bountiful harvests from your trees and gardens, visits from your offspring and lots and lots of found mushrooms!

Cro Magnon said...

That sounds like everything I wish for myself. I hope all will be fulfilled. Best wishes, Cro x

DaniBP said...

Merry Christmas to you Cro, it sounds like a lovely evening with your Lady M. Thank you for your blog which I have really enjoyed discovering this year. My best to you and yours. xx

SandyExpat said...

I do not comment often. I do not always agree with what you write but I do find your point of view very interesting. My family is also spread near and far, not so sure it is quite the blessing it was in our younger days.

Your home is lovely. Happy Christmas to you and Lady M.

Cro Magnon said...

Thank you Dani. All my best wishes to you too. Cro x

Cro Magnon said...

Don't worry, I do try to stir things up occasionally. Being all over the world does have it's benefits, but not necessarily at Christmas. However, we have spoken to all of them today. Best wishes, Cro x

James said...

And to you and yours, Sir Cro. I have enjoyed your posts - especially those about food. Any chance of a match report on your turkey on 27th December?

Cro Magnon said...

I fear full stomachs will be our downfall; every year we promise not to eat too much, and every year we fail. Best wishes Arleen. Cro x
